Mumbai, Sep 29 (NationPress) Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, visited the family of the late singer Zubeen Garg, referring to him as a true legend whose music became the heartbeat of the Northeast.

On Monday, Adani shared a photo of the renowned artist on X, previously known as Twitter. He expressed, “Yesterday, in Guwahati, I met with the family of Zubeen Garg, a true legend whose music became the heartbeat of the Northeast and whose love for the people will forever resonate across generations.”

He further added, “May his music and memories continue to inspire millions, and may his noble soul rest in peace. #ZubeenGarg #Assam #Tribute”

On September 28, Gautam Adani visited Zubeen Garg's residence in Kahilipara to honor the state's cultural icon, who passed away on September 19.

Adani paid floral tributes at Garg's home and met his wife, Garima Saikia Garg. The visit was brief yet emotional, highlighting the extensive reach and influence of Zubeen Garg's legacy, which transcended Assam and the Northeast.

Sources indicated that the Adani Group expressed condolences to the grieving family, standing in solidarity with the people of Assam during this somber time.

Known for his versatility in Assamese, Hindi, Bengali, and other regional languages, Zubeen Garg tragically died following a scuba diving accident in Singapore. He was rescued by Singapore police and rushed to a nearby hospital where, despite being admitted to the ICU, he could not be saved.

Zubeen was in Singapore for the fourth North East India festival at Suntec, scheduled for September 20 and 21. Just hours before this tragedy, he had shared an inviting message for fans on social media.

As a superstar singer in Northeast India, Zubeen was the voice of Assam. His breakout Bollywood hit 'Ya Ali' from the film 'Gangster', released in 2006, made him a household name across the nation.

For those unaware, Garg's younger sister, Jongki Borthakur, an actress and singer, sadly lost her life in a car accident in February 2002 in Assam's Sonitpur district while heading to a performance.

In her memory, Zubeen released the touching album Xixhu later that year. He was married to fashion designer and costume director Garima Saika Garg.

Papon, another prominent artist, has sung in numerous languages besides Assamese, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, and Marathi. He is the lead vocalist and founder of the folk-fusion band Papon and The East India Company.
